If the total amount deposited by him in the bank (for savings account and fixed deposits) is Rs 59500, then Ravi's total monthly savings (in Rs) is

• A. 80000
• B. 70000
• C. 40000
• D. 60000

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

70000

Answer 2

Let the total monthly savings be S.
FD investment $=\frac{50}{100}S.$
Stock investment $=\frac{30}{100}(S-\frac{50}{100}S)$
$=\frac{15}{100}S.$
Savings bank account investment $=\frac{35}{100}S.$
$⇒\frac{35}{100}S+\frac{50}{100}S=59500$
$⇒S= 70000$
